YREKA – A man was booked in the Siskiyou County Jail on $100,000 bail Monday after he allegedly loaded a shopping cart with merchandise at Super Walmart in Yreka, walked out the door and used force to escape the store’s elderly greeter who tried to stop him.

Stanley Joseph Annis, 23, of Farmington, Minn., was charged with one count of burglary and one count of robbery.

It is alleged that Annis loaded the cart with boots, shoes and other grocery items that had a total value of $250. He reportedly rolled the cart out the door.

The 77-year-old greeter saw the loose items in the cart and followed Annis. He asked Annis for a receipt. Annis reportedly responded that he paid for the items, but does not believe in getting receipts.

The greeter asked Annis to come back into the store so he could verify that the items had been paid for and Annis reportedly refused.

“The employee grabbed the cart and he and the suspect had a tugging contest and struggled over the possession of the cart. The subject pulled the cart from the employee’s hands and walked away,” Boutin alleged.

Prior to YPD’s arrival at the scene, a bystander reportedly attempted to assist the employee upon seeing the age difference between the two men involved in the struggle.

YPD, with the assistance of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), apprehended Annis in front of the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

Boutin explained that Annis was charged with robbery as well as burglary because he allegedly used force or fear in his attempt to escape the Walmart employee.
